The city that never sleeps

The Big Apple needs little by way of introduction. Its reputation as a capital of culture is universally known, with a plethora of outstanding museums, from the Metropolitan and its incredible wealth of fine art, to Ellis Island and the Tenement Museum, sharing stories of the huddled masses who risked all to be part of the dream that was America.

The theater scene has something for every taste, from elaborately staged musicals with all-star casts to experimental drama in tiny theaters off-off Broadway. Food too runs the gamut, from hot dog stands on street corners to the bistros of celebrity chefs.

An eminently walkable city, a stroll through its intriguing neighborhoods is an important part of any visit. Start spreading the news.

METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

One of the largest art museums in the world, the permanent collection of the Met contains over two million works of art. In total, there are 17 different curatorial divisions, each specializing in a specific area and period. The museum features everything from ancient classics to modern masters.

BROADWAY

Theater lovers will find plenty to entertain themselves with in New York.
